I knew it would be bad.
I didn't know it would be so stupid.
Finished the game. In the end, this is a real bad game that I regret buying. Has good & fun open world exploration, and good core gameplay, but everything about beyond that is bad and dumb. Bad weapons, bad progression, too many bad missions, bad characters.

Game would be 100% better if they’d add an option to deactivate the main story line and just keep the open world playable with recurring cultist events. Unfortunate.

Shadow of Mordor's Nemesis Forge was based on that premise and for FC5, that would be a tenfold improvement. But that's looking too much into it, any other world game wouldn't be so stupid as to make the plot unavoidable.

The writers need to a lifetime ban on financially benefiting from content involving violence, religion, politics or drugs. It is actually insulting that buying the game in some way is compensating for their spent labor.

Having the exact same issue, but it's more like 1 second. I assume in my case it's loading things and my HDD just isn't fast enough. I'd put it on my SSD, but I have FFXV taking up all of the space on it right now.

Mine's doing this too and it's installed on a pretty new SSD. It's rather infrequent, but irritating.

I'm pretty sure by now the residents of Hope County are wishing the Cult would come back. All I do is get drunk and tear-rear end around in my RZR, shooting livestock and wildlife with my gold-plated SMG. Sometimes I stop in Falls End and light the Spread Eagle on fire for good measure.

Just got the game and something is up with the graphics. Character models appear very dark in cutscenes and menus. It’s almost impossible to tell what they look like. Anyone know what I’m talking about?

It is, but I failed that flying Clutch mission so much that the song started to really annoy me. I'll try again today though, I desperately want to be Clutch Nixon.

Apart from the horribly bad main story, the thing that annoys me the most is that they couldn't be arsed to record two versions of the Clutch Nixon stunt narration. His use of gender neutral pronouns is the laziest poo poo. I'm pretty sure the va knocked those lines out in a couple of hours. They couldn't have given him a sandwich and have him go over it twice?

On the other hand, hearing Jess the Juggalette and Peaches tear into rabid cultists behind my back while I'm fishing trout will probably never get old.

Game's fun, but I wholeheartedly agree with most reviews I've seen. The writing and the hamfisted way the cutscenes are forced upon you is subpar, to say the least. The Far Cry games have never excelled at storytelling but with this one it feels like the writers were like hold my beer and raced each other to the bottom

I swear, every single time that I try to use the flamethrower, enemies lit on fire run right towards me at set me on fire.

True for me as well. If I try it on VIPs, they usually just ignore the fact that they are on fire and cooly blow me away or beat me to death. Not to mention it makes the entire area burst into flame killing basically every friendly and companion. Most worthless piece of crap in the game.

You can pet more than just dogs.

For anyone having issues with catching bigger fish (especially the Admiral) on PC, crank your mouse sensitivity up and it makes it a breeze. I spent 20 goddamned minutes trying to catch it with a relatively normal sensitivity before the line snapped and it took about ten seconds after hitting my mouse's sensitivity switch to catch. Makes me wonder if anyone at Ubisoft even bothered trying to catch the Admiral with a mouse.

Not only can you pet your dog, you revive it with a belly rub.
You can also pet your cougar, and the way you carefully approach it and letting it come to you is fantastic

Ditto. I was expecting to be able to play wandering vigilante and drop into random games for co-op so I could get my murder on. ( Grace's mission is hilarious if you have someone sitting on the fifty cal across the street. )

Instead they wasted dev time / money on a lovely mode that plays, and looks like every asset flip currently on Steam, instead of being able to matchmake in co-op. :psyduck:

Alright let's talk about the ending. It's just lazy writing. It's bad. Why is the nuke attack a drug induced hallucination? They spent so much time building up the world outside Montana as racing towards WWIII, why not just have the nukes in both endings? They wasted so much time world building and did nothing with it :(

Now I wake up in a cage with Jacob giving me a speech about ~the weak have their purpose~.

Really? I got kidnapped out of an airplane?

This story is loving dumb.

You’ve hit the nail on the head. The problem with this system is that it disturbs your gameplay in a way where it gets really distracting. I got my first hunter-kidnapping thing when I was taking instructions for a story mission. How is that good design?

There are shrines, adorned with fireworks and american flags, raised to his memory dotting the countryside. Activate them and you'll get moved into a vehicle - plane, buggy, wingsuit etc - to recreate his greatness.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


My thoughts so far on the much-discussed story of FC5, having killed 1/3 Koopa Kids: It's bad, even laughably bad at points, but it is not actively offending me like FC3. So at least it's not the worst Far Cry story of all time, a low bar to clear I know.

To sate my curiosity though, for those of you who have finished the game already, the cultists actually have a nuke or some kind of supervirus they're going to unleash upon the world right? I just want to see if my ability to predict bad video game plots is on the money.

Okay so the first time that I got tricked by a Bliss hallucination into a cutscene with Faith was actually pretty cool.
The later part where the game gave up on trying to trick me a second time and just pulled into a second and third Faith cutscene without me even being anywhere near sources of Bliss were not so much.
